Moscow Mule

This classic 3 -ingredient cocktail has been popular for about 3 years.  Now you’re seeing all sorts of different style mules -served with various spirits and ginger beer with lime.  I highly recommend you serve in the traditional copper mugs to make it authentic.

Ingredients:

• 1 -12 ounce bottle or can of Ginger Beer (Choose whatever brand you love, I really like Gosling Ginger Beer)
• 2 ounce vodka (Quality is important here, so try to avoid the cheapest bottle in the store.  I recommend Titos or Vue Vodka)
• lime juice, freshly squeezed.  No bottled lime juice, please!
• sprig of mint or lime wedge (optional for garnish)

How to make it:

1. Fill a glass or copper mug with ice. Crushed ice is traditional, but any kind will do.
2. Add vodka and lime juice.  Feel free to toss the remainder of squeezed lime in the mug.
3. Add ginger beer.  Fill to the top with ginger beer.
4. Stir and serve!  Garnish with a mint leaf or lime wedge (both if desired).
